Inspired by Islamic scripts and patterns, Mohammed Ali’s art explores themes relating to multicultural, contemporary societies. Also known as Aerosol Arabic, Mohammed started doing graffiti as a teenager. At the age of twenty, having lost a dear friend, his rediscovery of the Islam led him to put these two passions together. Since then, Mohammed has made a name for himself and he has exhibited his canvas-art and public spiritual murals in the streets of New York, Chicago, Toronto, Melbourne and Dubai.

Combining graffiti with Islamic art, Mohammed draws fascinating parallels between a modern art form and the rich Islamic creative heritage, by highlighting how each focuses on the beautification of words.
